Bosses are why I quit JRPGs. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 02/07/2010 07:25:27 PM
Some idiot boss in FFXII took literally hours of grinding to kill, and be was about 30 min away from a waypoint. I started playing Morrowind around then and never looked back (although in a spate of "fuck you Ahriman I did eventually beat the thing). Why should I play a game that requires endless amounts of leveling when I can play one that rewards ingenuity?

Addendum: I love them in action games, though.

It depends on the type of boss. There are two broad categories, one of which you'd probably enjoy. lord-of-shadow - 02/07/2010 04:59:33 PM 930 Views

A lot of games these days are moving away from them. TaskmasterJack - 02/07/2010 10:59:11 PM 943 Views
Except they're moving towards Quick Time Events more and more. grogg0316 - 07/07/2010 02:15:45 PM 825 Views
Quick Time Events got real popular, then everyone realized that people hated them. lord-of-shadow - 07/07/2010 03:10:47 PM 780 Views
